Am I'm the only one here that doesn't do

Flowers? I don't think I've ever had any in my landscape before...

nope!! my parents own a garden center so i grew up planting flowers and stuff... now i don't touch them!
luckily we bought our house from ILs, and FIL is too cheap to buy annuals every year, so all of our beds are nice perenniels- some of them get flowers and look really nice, AND i don't have to do any real work!

We were lucky to buy a house from a landscape designer - so most of our flowers are perennials...but I do buy a few flats to add here and there - but there is always a perennial blooming in our yard from March - November - they are great

I grew-up in the garden with my mom.... so I am fairly good at gardening.... we live in an apartment though Chat Icon So, all of our gardening is still at mom's house!

What do you have in your landscape?Shrubbery? Rock garden?

I inherited a slightly negelcted garden. I tried to clean up some of it and leave other things, so it's not the most well designed. I have added annuals in the past to fill in holes, but I am trying to put more perennials in.

Re: Am I'm the only one here that doesn't do

I just go some pansies this year to fill up a new planting bed. Otherwise, no flowers for us either.

I love the ease of playing with foliage colors as my flowers.

DH is not big on flowers.

This year I did get some rhododendrons and hydrangeas as "colors".

I love my evergreens, hostas, coral bells, etc...

We don't do flowers.

We've got sea grasses instead.

Re: Am I'm the only one here that doesn't do

I'm afraid to start a flower garden because I am allergic to everything. I don't feel that we can afford to have a professional do it, at least not the way I would like it. We have some potted floral plants.

The only flowers I do are 5 hanging baskets that hang off the deck and 2 flower boxes that are part of the benches on the deck.

Re: Am I'm the only one here that doesn't do

I have no interest in planting them at all. The previous owners actually had so much planted around the house and walkways that we moved in with a 2 foot strip of dirt around everything. Finally this year I planted grass. That's as far as I'm going.
